CAI-ISMIC HERALD Another my Year For N ewfprzper Stay? -Heather Rigney, Editor Reflections of a newspaper editor at- 3:10 in the morning: HARGHH! Ioumalism deadlines! Help!! The type sizing still needs to be done! I have so much to remember!!! What if I forget something important? l'm dying, committing suicide. I've spent 50 hours slaving over this paper in the past three days! Who reads it anyway? AGGGHHY' The job of producing the school newspaper has always been a mammoth task. The first hurdle of the year was building a new staff. Schedule conflicts abounded. ln the end, Newspaper Production became an I.S. class: the editor and the advisor met on Mondays, the entire staff met on Tuesdays, some of the staff met on Thursdays, and no one appeared on Fridays. The editor could only meet with the 98 ORGANIZATIONS: CAHSmic Herald staff once a week because of AP Chemistry lab. It was ironic that the Herald, whose job it was to communicate information, was burdened with massive com- munication problems itself. The Herald dealt with several controversial issues this year. The first and foremost uproar was caused by a letter to the editor writ- ten by gay students. The staff members had to learn how to stand up for their rights as a newspaper and to endure the witchhunt that followed the first edition. Yet the Herald continued to pride itself on covering a wide and accurate pic- ture of issues that affect high school students. There were several new features in the '86-'87 CAHSmic Herald. The mysterious Oracle offered words of wisdom in a new advice column and student reporters created a personality profile to help in- troduce new CAHS teachers. 1 Besides the brainstorming, inter- viewing, tabulating, writing, editing, re-writing, verifying, typ ing, proofreading, headlining folding, stapling and arranging o 1,100 papers in zip code order there were monotonous drives tc the publishing company in Madison county. Entire weekend: were then devoted to the S806 jigsaw-puzzle type task of layout. But after all the late nights ano last minute articles delivered to the editor's door at 1:05 a.m., the effor of producing the CAHSrnic Herall was worth it. The reward cami when CAI-IS students exclaimed laughed, and discussed the article: and features of the CAHSmi4 Herald. p

PEGASUS ,S erpire Changer, Smal! Problemr emrzined -Contributed late one night by editors Rachel Zutell, Matt Bardoe, and Betsy Hubbard Every school year, there are just some things you can count on - the food is disgusting, the halls are crowded, Saturday school is the last place anyone wants to be. But for the staff of Pegasus '87, this year consisted of one change after another. Whoa Rachel, quit trying to write a recruiting pamphlet. lt was all the same, one long drudgery after another: staying afterschool until 7 or 8, spending the weekends in front of some dumb computer that isn't working, trying to think of a creative caption for someone posing for the camera and visits from our publishing rep who tells us everything is great when we really know better! OK, so some parts of yearbook will never change, Matt. But things were different this year. In order to be able to cover all the events of the school year, we changed to a summer delivery schedule. This decision was surprisingly popular, but only 100 ORGANIZATIONS: Pegasus '87 because the seniors could have their pictures in color. What else was different? We had a new advisor, Mrs. Robeano. The yearbook was 16 pages longer. An IBM computer was used to design the entire book-unfortunately, we never had a printer for it. Deadline times would require us to pull an all-nighter at Mrs. Dixon's house to use her husband's printer. This was definitely different, and kind of strange. Especially the time we trying to sneak downstairs to make popcom, and realized, while stumbling through the dark, .5 iltlf that a doberman pinscher is loose somewhere in the house. At 3 a.m., this thought can seem hysterical . . . but maybe you had to be there. Enough of your story already. l suppose that was intended to prove to me that yearbook is just loads of fun. A few fun times does not make up for the days on end filled with late hours, missing copy, lost pictures . . . and all the rest. All of that is just part of the challenge. Yearbook can be fun. And you have to admit, seeing the book finished at the end of the year makes everything worth it. ffl! ,qi if ' fn. 1 1 rf.. ref? 31 r F. PEGASUS '87- Seated: Ruth Moeller, Iodi Siebold, Sara Pappas.
